He added that the group used to call out names to keep everyone going.

Speaking to the magazine, he said: "Instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying – I don’t even know if we were staying over or anything – we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out.

"Somebody started masturbating, so we all did."

He added: "We were just, 'Brigitte Bardot! Whoo' And then everyone would thrash a bit more.

"There’s so many things like that from when you’re a kid that you look back on and you’re [thinking] 'Did we do that?'

SECRETS: Paul has spilled on his secrets

MASTURBATION: Paul revealed that he used to have group masturbation sessions

"But it was good, harmless fun. It didn’t hurt anyone. Not even Brigitte Bardot."

Spilling about his own sexual past, he admitted to having a threesome with two prostitutes in Las Vegas.

He said: "There was once when we were in Vegas where the tour guy said 'You’re going to Vegas, guys – you want a hooker?'

"We were all, 'Yeah!' And I requested two. And I had them, and it was a wonderful experience. But that’s the closest I ever came to an orgy."

While Paul was revealing all on his life as a youngster, he also gushed over the music he’s worked on since.

Staying fairly current, Paul has worked with the likes of Kanye West and Rihanna, which made him even prouder of his skills.

He added: "I loved it. I feel kind of a privilege that they think I’m worthy of their world.

"I know I’m worthy of my world, but I didn’t know that they think I could fit."

The Beatles were iconic in their heyday, after their split, it was another 40 years until a band managed to reach the same level of success as The Beatles.

One Direction were compared to The Beatles a number of times since their success on The X Factor, which allowed them to break into the US earlier than The Beatles – but still, nothing quite compares to the band in their heyday.
